Illustrations:
Black & White
In these black and white illustrations, I limit the use of color intentionally to emphasize texture, contrast, and depth. By layering lines continually, I build density and spatial depth, allowing forms to emerge through accumulation rather than tonal variation. Symmetry plays a central role, creating compositions that feel both clean and ornate while heightening the contrast between black and white.
These works also reflect my interest in Korean aesthetics and East Asian visual traditions. Through disciplined line work and balanced composition, I aim to achieve a refined, classical elegance. In particular, the central piece reinterprets motifs from Korean folktales through my own visual language, expanding traditional narratives into contemporary black and white forms.
